Default Gotta share this one ;)

Local radio station has a daily hour-long call-in show, where individuals can list items for sale/wanted.

Rarely do I sell or buy anything, but we listen to the show for entertainment.

Today, an individual was listing an off-topic car for sale. The ad:

For sale, 19nn xxx, still runs, but the motor is frozen.

Anyone want to decipher that combination?

And before someone posts about how cold it is, today's ambient is 47 degrees F.

Jon.

Probably a blown ignitor. They go out every once in a while just like a light bulb. Less than $20 and 20 minuites to repair.

I once bought a motorcycle at auction. It was advertised as 'ran when parked'. We knew what we buying so there were no surprises, but what should have been added was that it was parked 50 yrs ago in the bottom of a salt water pool!
